Good morning, 

This week, Texas Scorecard is excited to premiere our conversations with candidates for Texas governor.

Here is today's Texas Minute.

• Next year, voters will have the opportunity to go to the polls and vote in the Republican primary elections in Texas, nominating candidates for positions up and down the ballot.
   
• At the top of that ballot? Texas Governor.
   
• With several candidates having already announced their intention to run, Texas Scorecard invited Gov. Greg Abbott and his primary challengers for a special edition of our Conversations series we are calling Uncut.
   
• While incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott did not accept the invitation, three of his Republican primary opponents did:
  • Allen West
  • Chad Prather
  • Don Huffines.

• In these interviews, no topic was off-limit. Each candidate was asked about their unique backgrounds, why they want to lead Texas, and what they believe their path to victory is.
   
• Additionally, each candidate was asked about their solutions on a wide array of policy topics including:
  • Vaccine Mandates
  • Securing the Southern Border
  • Property Taxes
  • Protecting Life
    ​
• You will not want to miss their unedited answers

• So how can you catch these interviews? The three conversations will be released this week!
   
• Tomorrow we kick off the series with former Texas GOP Chairman Allen West, who discusses his experience having led the state Republican Party and pushing for GOP priorities.
   
• On Wednesday, we keep the conversations going with Texas Humorist and media personality Chad Prather, who shares why a candidate from the entertainment industry should be taken seriously. 
   
• Then on Thursday, we wrap things up with former State Sen. Don Huffines, who gives his behind-the-scenes perspective of why conservative legislation often fails to pass, and what he would do about it as governor. 
   
• As with all of our podcast programming, you check it out at TexasScorecard.com, Facebook, Youtube, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

Please join us in wishing a very Happy Birthday to Erin Anderson!
